Fulfilling the war department's prediction that Mexico rebels would flee to the interior of the republic as soon as the federal troops appeared near the border dispatches from General Steever at El Paso today reported the beginning of such a movement. The American commander reported that the rebels under Generals Rojas and Tampa are moving southward, raiding ranches and destroying railroads and telegraphic communication as they go. Several hundred revolutionists captured a freight train near Navova, and after looting the train burned it. They then took up a position near the San Pedro ranch and disabled the Del Rio railroad. The insurgents have threatened to dynamite all bridges in that section if any attempt be made to repair the railroad. A telephone message from Canenea stated that the federal garrison there had been greatly increased and that the foreign colony is safe. Rifles and ammunition intended for Americans at Sanenea are still at Warren, Ariz., It being considered unsafe to ship them across the border at the present time. 1 General Steever also sent details of the fourth attack on Ojinaga by the rebels yesterday. The mounted revolutionists charged the custom house but were repulsed by the federals with the loss of two men. Federal troops then charged, killing two more rebels. RAILROAD PROTESTS.

MRS. MARYON

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11. Mrs. Maryon Bruiguiere, Dr. Pedar Bruiguiere and Mrs. Nana Bruigulere, are In the queerest marital muddle that has been in the California courts for years. Mrs. Maryon Bruiguiere, the second wife of the Doctor, is now suing before Superior Judge Van Borstran, for recognition as the legal wife of the Doctor and for separate maintenance. As Miss Maryon Andrews, . of New York, she became the second wife of Doctor Bruiguiere, in December, 1902. In January, 1906, the Doctor secured a divorce from her in Washoe county, Nevada, and in August of the same year he married Nana Price-King, the stepdaughter of a millionaire manufacturer.. So far all was well, but in July of the following year the beautiful divorcee married Stewart Denning, a wealthy broker, and still a year later learned with horror that the Nevada divorce secured by her former husband was not legal. Whereupon she obtained an annulment of her marriage to Denning in 1910, the court declaring the Nevada decree worthless. This 'made an embarrassing situation for the third Mrs. Bruiguiere, and . for the Doctor, as the second Mrs. Bruiguiere is now trying to compel him to recognise her as his wife. And if the court so decrees that she is his lawful wife, tremblingly asks the third Mrs. Bruiguiere, "Whose wife am I?" . .

SUICIDE

BY BOLTING FOOD Patient at Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane Adopts This Means. Attempting1 to swallow food which was not thoroughly masticated resulted in the death of William A. Fox, an Inmate of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane, Monday morning. According to the coroner's verdict filed this morning with the county clerk, death was due to asphyxiation, the result of attempting to swallow a bolus of partially masticated food and by other contributory causes. The testimony presented by the su perintendent of the institution, Dr. S. B. Smith, was that at about 11:40 o'clock Monday morning Head Attendant Hollen noticed Fox choking. Hollen attempted to persuade Fox to remove the food from his mouth. Supervisor Slak went to Hollen's assistance and both tried to pry open the patient's mouth. Superintendent Smith stated that the patient resisted the efforts of the two attendants and that he held his jaws firmly. Dr. Armstrong was sent for and he succeeded in prying the jaws of the patient apart. However, the man died a few minutes later. Fox was forty-two years of age and was brought to the local institution from Auburn, Indiana, Dekalb county. A SMALLPOX CASE (National News Association) NEW YORK, Sept. 11.

Blanket of Flowers Spread in His Path Upon His Arrival in Portland, Oregon, This Morning.

REPORTS RECEIVED BY HIM ENCOURAGE Full State Ticket Will Be Placed in the Field in Oregon. Colonel Is Given a Warm Greeting. (National News Association) PORTLAND, Oreg., Sept. 11. Upon a blanket of roses Col. Roosevelt walked from his train here today to his automobile. The rosy path was the idea of the Progressive leaders to typify the roseate hue upon the third party horizon in Oregon. One hundred dozen roses were strewn upon the path trod by the expresident from the train to an auto mobile outside the depot. The original idea of the Bull Moos ers was to toss the roses at the col onel, but the chief of police objected. He said some crank might throw something besides a flower. In an imposing parade the ex-president was escorted to the Hotel Oregon where he conferred with leaders. The colonel was informed that plans for launching a complete Progressive party ticket in the state have been completed. While the law calls for 5,000 names to petitions necessary to put the third party on the ballots for the primaries, the bull moosers, the colonel was told, already have obtained 7,500 name sand before the pe titions go in tomorrow they will have 10,000. "Fine," exclaimed the ex-president. "We'll do the trick in Oregon just as we'll do it in Washington, California, Colorado and the other states of the northwest, nothing can stop the Pro gressive party." Roosevelt held an informal recep tion at the hotel after his conference with the leaders and at noon went to lunch as the guest Of the Ad club and the Rotary club. Later in the day the ex-president goes upon an auto trip, speaking before an assemblage of mothers and children. The main speech of the day will be late in the afternoon at the Gypsy Smith auditorium. Before leaving town the colonel will pay a visit to the Moose lodge. Roosevelt was persuaded to make an Informal talk to his Bull Moose leaders after his arrival at the Oregon hotel. He adverted to "theft" of the nomination at the republican convention at Chicago and remarked that the Progressive party's birth was only hastened by the "desperate plight of the bosses." "Now we're going to teach them to be a little more careful whom they hold up in the future," said the colonel. TRIAL POSTPONED Richard Goodwin, charged with pro voking Tom Moran to assault and battery September 1st, was given a pre liminary hearing in police court this morning.

An expensive series of stumping trips Is to be made by Governor Wilson. Demo cratic candidate for the presidency. This was announced by the governor today while he was traveling from" Atlantic City to Jersey City to be the guest of a Democratic club. He stated he will make a trip similar to the western trip planned for next week every week hereafter until the campaign is over. The trips are now being arranged by the Democratic committee and will embrace practically every doubtful btate In the union, exclusive of the Pa cific coast states. The governor will not go to the coast. It was not the governor's intention at the outset of the campaign to make many long -trips or to deliver many speeches. He had announced that he would make most of his rpeche 1a New Jersey and would visit only few Important places outside the state. Acting Chairman McAdoo, within the past few days, has persnaded tho governor that a fairly complete tour of the country Is necessary. The governor likes to call them trips, rather than tours, however. "A tour takes In a considerable section of the country at one nrp," the governor explained today. "A trip ta started from a specific po'nt going outjto another place or plaea ai d returning to the original place. In that respect I am like a baseball player. I make my start, cover the bases and return to the home plate. Then I start out again and make some more runs. That will be the Idea of weekly trips I am to make throughout the campaign.
